Pretend You Don't See Her by Mary Higgins Clark

Pretend You Don't See Her was another excellent book by Mary Higgins Clark. Once I started reading it, I had a difficult time putting it down. I rate this as high as her book titled A Cry In The Night.

Anyone you enjoys suspense will probably like Pretend You Don't See Her. Mary Higgins Clark is a great suspense writer, and her books have clean wholesome language.

One thing that helped create suspense in her books was the way that she continued to keep readers hanging at the end of a chapter. She ended a chapter at one scene and then switched scenes in the following chapter. As a result, I wanted to continue reading so I could find out what happened to the characters in the previous scenes.

This book had a lot of action and kept readers wanting to read so they could find out what happened to Lacey, the main character. The book was also easy to read. Some chapters were one and a half to two pages and others were a little longer. This particular book had 65 chapters and 305 pages. Once you started reading the book, you probably want to keep reading.

Pretend You Don't See Her was about a young girl named Lacey. She was a real estate agent.
One day, Lacey saw a murder. Now the murderer wanted to grab her. In order to protect Lacey from the murderer, the FBI placed her into a witness protection program. Lacey had to give up her family, apartment, and all of her friends, so she could start a new identity and life somewhere else. She couldn't tell her friends or relatives her new location.

Lacey had a difficult adjustment in her new location. She wanted to remain in contain with her friends and relatives, but she didn't want the murderer to locate her or to harm her family. Her mother also had a difficult time because she wanted to know Lacey's new location, so she could correspond with her, but all of the mail was sent through a secret place so nobody would locate Lacey's new home and identity. When she contacted her family by phone, it was a secure place. She couldn't talk about the weather, her job, or anything specific that would let people know where she lived.

Lacey met a guy and started to like him. They date, but she had a difficult time because she had to tell lies about herself. Will Lacey continue the relationship? Will the murderer find out where Lacey lived? Will the police catch the murderer, so Lacey could go back to her home town and her own name? You will have to read the book to find out the answers to these questions.
